一种通信方法、装置、系统及存储介质
相关申请的交叉引用
本申请要求在2022年04月20日提交中国专利局、申请号为202210417033.0、申请名称为“一种通信方法、装置、系统及存储介质”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种通信方法、装置、系统及存储介质。
背景技术
第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd generation partnership project,3GPP)标准提出了基于服务化的管理架构(service based management architecture,SBMA)。其中,管理功能(management function,MnF)实体是组成SBMA架构的基本单元。MnF是提供特定管理任务或功能的逻辑实体,其对外提供的管理能力称为管理服务(management service,MnS)。MnF可作为管理服务生产实体(MnS producer)将其提供的MnS提供给管理服务消费实体使用。
网络管理能力开放是指运营商将网络管理的能力开放给外部第三方客户(比如包括运营商的租户)。第三方客户作为管理服务消费实体,可以基于运营商开放的网络管理能力,实现网络管理。不同第三方客户在网络管理知识专业度掌握水平以及业务需求等方面可能存在差异,比如有些第三方客户希望管理调用操作简单清晰,有些第三方客户希望管理调用操作更精准快速。
但目前的管理能力开放技术会导致第三方客户业务应用优化效果降低。
发明内容

下面首先对本申请实施例涉及的名词术语进行介绍。
(1)网络能力开放
网络管理能力开放是指运营商将网络管理的能力开放给外部第三方(3rd party)客户。第三方客户作为管理服务消费实体,可以基于运营商开放的网络管理能力,由对应的网络管理系统(比如包括第三方操作管理和维护(operation,administration and maintenance,OAM)系统、共享运营商管理系统等)实现对第三方的网络进行管理,比如,可实现如下网络管理:获取服务租户网络的性能数据、对服务租户的网络进行网络参数配置等。又如,在切片管理或面向垂直行业(vertical industry)的私有网络场景下,作为切片使用客户或垂直行业客户的第三方,希望通过管理能力开放从运营商网络获得一定的网络管理能力,以此来参与其相关的切片网络或私有网络的管理或数据分析。
通过网络能力开放,可以将运营商的网络能力开放给第三方客户,实现网络能力与业务需求的友好对接,优化资源配置。通过开放接口开放网络能力,第三方能利用获得的信息或通过配置策略调整创造出更好的商业应用和服务。
以下示例性列举了几种可能的管理服务:
网络切片管理功能(network slice management function,NSMF);
网络切片子网管理功能(network slice subnet management function,NSSMF);
管理数据分析功能(management data analystics function,MDAF);
通信服务管理功能(communication service management function,CSMF);
网络功能管理功能(network function management function,NFMF);
网络功能(network function,NF)。
需要说明的是,以上仅示例性列举了一些可能的管理服务,本申请实施例对管理服务的种类和数量不做限制。
(2)管理服务消费实体和管理服务提供实体
管理服务提供实体是指用于提供管理服务的实体,管理服务消费实体是指使用管理服务的实体,管理服务消费实体可通过调用管理服务,获得相应管理服务提供实体提供的管理服务功能。本申请实施例中,管理服务提供实体称为管理功能(MnF)实体,管理服务消费实体可以包括第三方客户。
第三方客户作为管理服务消费实体,可以使用运营商开放的网络管理能力(称为管理服务)。第三方客户可以是营商的租户,比如,可以是垂直行业客户、切片使用客户或共享运营商等。举例来说,第三方是使用(或消费)运营商定制化网络服务的组织或公司。
本申请实施例中,与运营商网络侧的相关实体(比如包括开放控制管理功能等)进行交互的第三方客户,可以是第三方的网络管理系统或用于实现网络管理的实体,比如可以是第三方的OAM系统或共享运营商管理系统等。
在5G网络管理技术的SBMA架构中,管理功能(MnF)是组成SBMA架构的基本单元。图1示出了MnF的逻辑架构。如图所示,MnF可作为管理服务生产者(MnS producer)将其提供的MnS提供给管理服务消费实体(比如包括第三方网络管理系统或其它MnF)使用(如图1中的一端为空心圈的线条所示),也可作为管理服务消费者(MnS consumer)调用其它MnF提供的MnS(如图1中的一端为半圆弧的线条所示)。MnF之间相互调用MnS都是基于服务化的接口。
目前3GPP已定义的MnF以及MnF之间的逻辑连接可如图2所示。其中开放控制管理功能是在管理域实现管理能力对外开放的逻辑管理功能,用于实现网络侧的运维管理信息,如配置信息、性能测量信息以及告警和/或错误信息等的开放。
目前一种开放控制管理功能实体的开放机制可如图3所示。其中,第三方(3rd party,比如垂直行业)和管理功能实体MnF2均可理解为不被管理功能实体MnF1所在管理域直接信任但已经过授权的客户。在这种情况下,为调用管理功能实体MnF1提供的MnS,第三方需要通过开放控制管理功能实体1来实现管理服务调用请求(如图中的实线路径所示),管理功能实体MnF2需要通过开放控制管理功能实体2来实现管理服务调用请求(如图中的虚线路径所示)。开放控制管理功能实体1和开放控制管理功能实体2可以直接调用管理功能实体MnF1提供的MnS。
目前,第三方基于开放控制管理功能实体提供的管理服务信息(本申请实施例中称为第二服务信息或MnS info),向开放控制管理功能实体发起管理服务调用的请求。一方面,该管理服务信息(MnS info)包含较多内容并且专业性强,要求第三方需要一定的网络管理相关知识理解该管理服务信息,这样才能基于该管理服务信息发起管理服务调用请求,以实现该第三方需要实现的网络管理功能。从第三方的角度出发,出于对网络管理知识专业度掌握水平不同以及业务需求不同,可能部分第三方希望管理调用操作简单清晰,部分第三方希望管理调用操作更精准快速,这样就出现了对管理能力开放的服务信息灵活选择的需求,但目前技术无法满足第三方自主管理机制的个性化需求偏好,可能导致第三方业 务应用优化效果降低。另一方面,出于安全等因素的考虑,比如,需要对运营商管理信息库(management information database,MIB)中的原始信息模型数据中的敏感信息进行保护,运营商可能不希望将直接用于MnF的管理服务信息(MnS information)提供给第三方使用。
为此,本申请实施例提供了一种通信方法、通信系统以及相关装置,用以满足管理服务消费实体对开放的服务信息的个性化需求。基于本申请的一些实施例,在第三方(或称第三方实体,比如包括第三方网络管理系统或第三方应用服务器)作为管理服务消费实体使用运营商开放的网络管理能力时,可以向第三方提供开放的服务信息灵活选择机制,以使第三方基于自身对网络管理专业知识的掌握以及业务需求来选择最适合自己的开放形式,以更好地提高行业的业务水平。
下面结合附图对本申请实施例进行描述。
参见图4,为本申请实施例中的基于开放控制管理功能实体的网络能力开放架构示意图。
如图4所示,该架构中可包括以下功能实体:
管理服务消费实体:用于请求调用管理服务,比如可以向管理域(比如包括跨域管理单元或单域管理单元)发起管理服务调用请求。管理服务消费实体的一个示例为第三方实体(3rd party entity),比如该第三方实体可以是垂直行业的管理系统。可向管理域(跨域管理系统或者单域管理系统)发起管理服务请求。
跨域管理(cross domain management)单元:可与网络管理系统(network management system,NMS)对应,负责对多个网元管理系统的统一管理。
单域管理(domain management)单元:可与网元管理系统(element management system,EMS)对应,负责对基站(比如包括5G基站)或者核心网(比如包括5G核心网)的管理。
可选的,上述各功能实体之间可基于表现层状态转移(representational state transfer,REST)应用程序编程接口(application programming interface,API)进行信息交互。REST是用来描述创建超文本传输协议(hyper text transfer protocol,HTTP)API的标准方法,通过REST API可以将查看(view)行为映射到HTTP中的GET方法,将创建(create)行为映射到HTTP中的POST方法,将编辑(edit)行为映射到HTTP中的PUT方法,将删除(delete)行为映射到HTTP中的DELETE方法。
可选的,跨域管理单元和单域管理单元中,可分别包括开放控制管理功能实体,用以提供能力开放控制功能。
可选的,跨域管理系统和单域管理系统中,可分别包括管理功能实体(MnF),用以提供开放的管理服务。MnF是一群功能相似的MnS的集合,可部署在跨域管理层,如网络切片管理功能(NSMF),也可部署在单域管理层,如网络切片子网管理功能(NSSMF),或者部署在管理数据分析功能(MDAF)。MnF可以提供具体管理服务,如配置服务,性能测量服务,故障告警服务等。
可选的,跨域管理系统中还可包括服务发现提供实体(MnS discovery producer),用以提供管理服务发现功能。
上述网络能力开放架构可应用于向管理服务消费实体(比如包括垂直行业应用)提供用户级或者业务流级的管理服务功能,比如提供无线网络信息,以帮助管理服务消费实体优化应用服务,进而实现实时和精细化的无线网络信息监控。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中的开放控制管理功能实体既可以是上述架构中跨域管理系统中的开放控制管理功能实体,也可以是上述架构中单域管理系统中的开放控制管理功能实体。图5示例性示出了本申请实施例提供的通信系统的结构示意图,该系统中的开放控制管理功能实体可以是跨域管理系统中的开放控制管理功能实体,也可以是单域管理系统中的开放控制管理功能实体。
如图5所示,该通信系统可包括:管理服务消费实体(501a,501b)和开放控制管理功能实体502,以及管理功能实体(503a,503b,503c)。进一步的,还可以包括服务发现提供实体504。可选的,服务发现提供实体504可部署在运营支撑系统(operations support system,OSS)层上或OSS层外。
管理服务消费实体(501a,501b)可以与开放控制管理功能实体502进行信息交互,开放控制管理功能实体502可以分别与管理功能实体(503a,503b,503c)、服务发现提供实体504进行信息交互(如图中的实线连接所示)。可选的,管理服务消费实体(501a,501b)也可以与服务发现提供实体504以及管理功能实体(503a,503b,503c)进行信息交互(如图中的虚线连接所示,图中仅示例性示出了管理服务消费实体501a与服务发现提供实体504以及管理功能实体503a进行信息交互)。
管理服务消费实体、开放控制管理功能实体、管理功能实体以及服务发现提供实体的数量,可能分别是一个或多个,图5中仅示例性地示出了两个管理服务消费实体和三个管理功能实体的情况,本申请实施例对上述功能实体的数量不做限制。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中,“开放控制管理功能实体”可被称为exposure governance management function,简称为EGMF。本申请实施例对“开放控制管理功能实体”的命名方式不做限制。
基于该通信系统,管理服务消费实体用于向开放控制管理功能实体发送第一指示信息,所述第一指示信息用于指示服务信息开放方式。开放控制管理功能实体用于根据所述第一指示信息向所述管理服务消费实体发送与所述第一指示信息指示的服务信息开放方式关联的第一服务信息,所述第一服务信息是第二服务信息处理后得到的。管理服务消费实体接收开放控制管理功能实体发送的第一服务信息。后续该管理服务消费实体可基于该第一服务信息发起管理服务调用请求。
本申请实施例中,所述第一指示信息用于指示服务信息开放方式。可选的,该第一指示信息可由管理功能消费实体进行设置,用以指示该管理功能消费实体选择的服务信息开放方式。可选的,该第一指示信息也可称为开放机制(exposure mechanism)参数或exposure mechanism信息,本申请实施例对该第一指示信息的命名不做限制。
可选的,服务信息开放方式可包括以下候选开放方式:第一开放方式,进一步的,候选开放方式还可包括第二开放方式。示例性的,第一指示信息的取值可包括第一值和第二值,其中,若第一指示信息的取值等于第一值,则表示该第一指示信息指示的服务信息开放方式为第一开放方式,若第一指示信息的取值等于第二值,则表示该第一指示信息指示的服务信息开放方式为第二开放方式。
在第一开放方式下,开放给管理服务消费实体的服务信息与用于管理功能实体(MnF)的管理服务信息不同,可理解,用于MnF的管理服务信息,是指开放控制管理功能实体调用管理功能实体(MnF)时使用的服务信息,其与MIB中的服务信息相同。示例性的,在第一开放方式下,开放控制管理功能实体提供给管理服务消费实体的服务信息与运营商 MIB中存储的原始服务信息模型不同,比如,开放控制管理功能实体提供给管理服务消费实体的服务信息相比于运营商MIB中存储的原始服务信息更简单,更容易被理解。第一开放方式也可称为间接开放方式。在第二开放方式下,开放给管理服务消费实体的服务信息与用于管理功能实体(MnF)的管理服务信息相同。示例性的,在第二开放方式下,开放控制管理功能实体提供给管理服务消费实体的服务信息与运营商MIB中存储的原始服务信息模型相同。第二开放方式也可称为直接开放方式。
本申请实施例中,将第一开放方式下,开放给管理服务消费实体的管理服务信息称为第一服务信息(也称为eMnS information)。第一服务信息可直观理解为管理服务消费实体为调用开放的管理服务(例如包括配置管理服务、性能测量服务、告警信息上报服务等)需要提供给开放控制管理功能实体的服务信息。可理解,第一开放方式与第一服务信息之间存在关联关系。
本申请实施例中,将第二开放方式下,开放给管理服务消费实体的管理服务信息称为第二服务信息(也称为MnS information)。第二服务信息可直观理解为开放控制管理功能实体为调用管理服务(例如包括配置管理服务、性能测量服务、告警信息上报服务等)所需要的管理服务信息。可理解,第二开放方式与第二服务信息存在关联关系。
本申请实施例中,第一服务信息可以是第二服务信息处理后得到的。换言之,通过对第二服务信息进行处理,可得到第一服务信息。
本申请实施例中,所述“处理”也可理解为“映射”,可包括以下两方面含义:
一方面,是从第二服务信息(MnS information)中选择出部分信息,得到第一服务信息(eMnS information)。换言之,可获取第二服务信息的子集,得到第一服务信息。通过该“处理”方式,可以仅将运营商能提供的所有管理服务中的部分管理服务开放给管理服务消费实体,具体开放哪些管理服务,可由管理消费实体与运营商签订的管理服务订购商务协议决定。通过该“处理”方式,也可以仅将运营商能提供的所有管理服务信息中的部分信息开放给管理服务消费实体,具体开放哪些管理服务信息,可由运营商决定,比如运营商可以将敏感性的管理服务信息(比如涉及管理服务定价策略的管理服务信息)不提供给管理服务消费实体。
由于第一服务信息可以是从第二服务信息中选择出的部分信息,因此第一服务信息相较于第二服务信息更加精简,从而可以与管理服务消费实体通过第一指示信息指示的服务信息开放方式相匹配。进一步的,采用上述实现方式中,还可以对运营商管理信息库中的原始信息模型数据中的敏感信息进行保护,比如开放控制管理功能实体可以将运营商不希望直接用于MnF的管理服务信息提供给管理服务消费实体。
另一方面,是将第二服务信息(MnS information)进行转换(transform)得到第一服务信息(eMnS information)。通过“转换”,可以简化管理服务消费实体调用开放的管理服务的操作,还可以也保护运营商的原始管理模型信息不变。
由于第一服务信息是第二服务信息转换后得到的信息,比如可以将第二服务信息转换为更加容易被理解或优化的第一服务信息,从而可以与管理服务消费实体通过第一指示信息指示的服务信息开放方式相匹配。
在一种可能的实现方式中,在将第二服务信息进行处理,得到第一服务信息时,可以采用上述“选择”和“转换”操作中的至少一项,使得第一服务信息可包括:从第二服务信息中选择出的部分信息,或者包括第二服务信息转换后得到的信息,或者既包括从第二 服务信息中选择出的部分信息又包括第二服务信息转换后得到的信息。
例如,可对第二服务信息中的管理服务类型的名称进行转换,将该管理服务类型的名称从需要一定网络管理专业知识才能理解的名称,转换为更易理解的名称,从而得到该管理服务类型在第一服务信息中的名称,也就是说,将第二服务信息中该管理服务类型的名称转换为第一服务信息中该管理服务类型的名称。再例如,可将第二服务信息中操作类型相同或相似的多种A类型MnS组件转换为一种操作类型的A类型MnS组件,或者将第二服务信息中多个作用于相同网元的B类型MnS组件转换为一个作用于该网元的B类型MnS组件,或者将第二服务信息中多个C类型组件转换为关键性能指标(key performance indicator,KPI)或关键质量指标(key quality indicator,KQI)。
本申请实施例中,可将第二服务信息中的部分信息或全部进行转换操作,得到第一服务信息。以第二服务信息中包括多种管理服务组件(MnS component)以及管理服务类型(MnS类型)为例,本申请实施例中,可将该多种组件中的至少一个,和/或管理服务类型进行转换,得到第一服务信息。
以目前3GPP标准定义的MnS组件为例,MnS information(第二服务信息)可包括以下三种类型的组件:
A类型管理服务组件(MnS component Type A):代表一类操作或通知,A类型管理服务组件的一个示例为:在配置管理服务中,创建一个管理对象实例createMOI()。MnS information中可包括种类繁多的MnS component Type A。
B类型管理服务组件(MnS component Type B):代表操作的对象,即管理对象实例。MnS information中可包括种类繁多的MnS component Type B。
C类型管理服务组件(MnS component Type C):代表相关数据,如性能数据、告警数据等。
本申请实施例中,可选的,对于MnS information(第二服务信息)中的MnS component Type A,可将种类繁多的MnS component type A转换为几类操作(调用动作)。
示例性的,MnS information(第二服务信息)中的MnS component type A可包括:
createMOI(创建管理对象信息),getMOIAttributes(获取管理对象信息属性),modifyMOIAttributes(修改管理对象信息属性),deleteMOI(删除管理对象信息),createMeasurementJob(创建测量任务),stopMeasurementJob(停止测量任务),listMeasurementJob(列出测量任务),getAlarmList(获取告警列表),notifyNewAlarm(通知新告警),notifyChangedAlarm(通知已更改的告警),notifyAlarmListRebuilt(通知告警列表重建),notifyCorrelatedNotificationChanged(通知相关通知已更改),getAlarmCount(获取告警计数),setComment(设置注释),acknowledgeAlarms(确认告警),unacknowledgeAlarms(未确认告警),clearAlarms(清除告警)等。
针对上述MnS information(第二服务信息)中的MnS component type A,本申请实施例中,可将其转换为以下7类操作:创建(create),删除(delete),修改(modify),列出(list),订阅(subscribe),取消订阅(unsubscribe),上载(upload)。例如,上述MnS component type A中的createMOI、createMeasurementJob可转换为eMnS component type A中的创建(create)操作。
本申请实施例中,可选的,对于MnS information(第二服务信息)中的MnS component Type B,可将种类繁多的MnS component type B转换为相应类型的网元。
示例性的,MnS information(第二服务信息)中的MnS component type B可包括:
TraceJob(跟踪任务),PerfMetricJob(性能度量任务),MnsInfo(管理服务信息),HeartbeatControl(心跳控制),Files(文件),GNBDUFunction(GNBDU功能),NRCellCU(NR小区集中单元),NRCellDU(NR小区分布式单元),BWP(bandwidth part,部分带宽),AMFFunction(AMF功能),NWDAFFunction(NWDAF功能),NetworkSlice(网络切片),NetworkSliceSubnet(网络切片子网)等。
针对上述MnS information(第二服务信息)中的MnS component type B,本申请实施例中,可将其转换为以下网元(Network Elements):接入和移动性管理功能(access and mobility management function,AMF),用户面功能(user plane function,UPF),会话管理功能(session management function,SMF),gNB(基站),网络开放功能(network exposure fuction,NEF),统一数据管理(unified data management,UDM)等。例如,上述MnS component type B中的NRCellCU、NRCellDU可转换为gNB,再例如,上述MnS component type B中的AMFFunction可转换为AMF。
本申请实施例中,可选的,对于MnS information(第二服务信息)中的MnS component TypeC,可将MnS component type C的数据聚合包装成管理服务消费实体(比如第三方)容易理解的关键性能指标(key performance indicator,KPI),关键质量指标(key quality indicator,KQI)等。
示例性的,MnS information(第二服务信息)中的MnS component type C可包括:
average delay DL air-interface(下行空口平均延迟,其中DL是downlink的英文缩写,即下行),distribution of delay DL air-interface(下行空口延迟分布),DL total PRB Usage(下行物理资源块总使用量),average UE throughput(平均UE(user equipment,用户设备或终端)吞吐量),RRC connection number(RRC(radio resource control,无线资源控制)连接号),inter-gNB handovers(基站间切换),number of QoS flows attempted to release(尝试释放的QoS流数)等。
针对上述MnS information(第二服务信息)中的MnS component type C,可选的,本申请实施例中,可将其转换为KPI或KQI。
以目前3GPP标准定义的MnS类型为例,MnS information(第二服务信息)可包括以下四种MnS类型:
ProvMnS:提供MnS;
FaultSupervisionMnS:故障监控MnS;
StreamingDataReportingMnS:流式数据报告MnS;
FileDataReportingMnS:文件数据报告MnS。
针对上述四种MnS类型,本申请实施例中,可选的,可将其转换为以下MnS类型:配置管理(provision),告警管理(Fault Supervision),性能管理(Performance Assurance)。例如,上述MnS component type C中的FaultSupervisionMnS可转换为告警管理(Fault Supervision),再例如,上述MnS component type C中的StreamingDataReportingMnS可转换为性能管理(Performance Assurance)。
需要说明的是,以上第二服务信息(MnS information)到第一服务信息(eMnS information)的转换方式仅为示例,本申请实施例对具体转换方式不做限定。按照上述转换方式,也可将第一服务信息进行处理,得到对应的第二服务信息。
上述实现方式中,由于管理服务消费实体通过第一指示信息指示服务信息开放方式,使得开放控制管理功能实体能够根据该第一指示信息指示的服务信息开放方式,将该服务信息开放方式关联的第一服务信息发送给管理服务消费实体,又由于第一服务信息是第二服务信息处理后得到的,因此可以使得管理服务消费实体获得与其通过第一指示信息指示的服务信息开放方式相匹配的管理服务信息,从而可以满足管理服务消费实体对开放的服务信息的个性化需求。
基于上述图4或图5所示的架构,下面分别结合图6、图7a、图7b对本申请实施例提供的通信方法进行详细描述。
参见图6,为本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法的流程示意图。通过该流程,可基于管理服务消费实体发送的用于指示服务信息开放方式的第一指示信息,向该管理服务消费实体发送相应的服务信息。
如图6所示,该流程可包括如下步骤:
601:管理服务消费实体向开放控制管理功能实体发送第一指示信息,该第一指示信息用于指示服务信息开放方式。所述服务信息开放方式关联第一服务信息,所述第一服务信息是第二服务信息处理后得到的。
可选的,管理服务消费实体可根据其选择的服务信息开放方式,设置该第一指示信息的取值,以使得该第一服务信息可以指示管理服务消费实体选择的服务信息开放方式。
可选的,服务信息开放方式的候选开放方式可包括第一开放方式和第二开放方式,所述第一开放方式关联于所述第一服务信息,所述第二开放方式关联于所述第二服务信息。本流程中,以第一指示信息指示的服务信息开放方式为第一开放方式为例描述。
关于服务信息开放方式,以及第一服务信息和第二服务信息的相关说明,可参见前述实施例。
602:开放控制管理功能实体向管理服务消费实体发送第一服务信息。
该步骤中,若开放控制管理功能实体根据该第一指示信息确定对应的服务信息开放方式为第一开放方式,则将第二服务信息处理得到该第一开放方式关联的第一服务信息,并将该第一服务信息发送给该管理服务消费实体,以便该管理服务消费实体后续基于该第一服务信息发起管理服务调用请求。
可选的,开放控制管理功能实体在接收到第一指示信息后,可先对该管理服务消费实体进行鉴权认证,若鉴权认证通过,则向管理服务消费实体发送第一服务信息,否则像管理服务消费实体返回失败信息,并结束本流程。
可选的,上述流程中,第一指示信息可携带于管理服务消费实体发送的注册请求中发送给开放控制管理功能实体,第一服务信息可携带于开放控制管理功能实体返回的注册响应中发送给管理服务消费实体。换言之,上述流程可以是管理服务消费实体向开放控制管理功能实体的注册流程。
可选的,在管理服务消费实体向开放控制管理功能实体的注册流程中,管理服务消费实体还可将该管理服务消费实体的租户描述信息(tenant profile)携带在注册请求中发送给开放控制管理功能实体,该租户描述信息中可包含该管理服务消费实体签约使用的管理服务的信息(比如管理服务的类型)。开放控制管理功能实体可根据该租户描述信息确定该管理服务消费实体签约使用的管理服务,并将管理服务消费实体签约使用的管理服务对应的第二服务信息进行处理,得到对应的第一服务信息,然后将该第一服务信息携带于注册 响应中发送给该管理服务消费实体。
关于将第二服务信息进行处理后得到第一服务信息的相关描述,可参见前述实施例。
在一种可能的实现方式中,服务信息开放方式的候选开放方式包括第一开放方式和第二开放方式,第一开放方式关联于第一服务信息,第二开放方式关联于第二服务信息。管理服务消费实体发送的第一指示信息指示的服务信息开放方式可能是第一开放方式(如管理服务消费实体选择了第一开放方式),也可能是第二开放方式(如管理服务消费实体选择了第二开放方式)。如果开放控制管理功能实体根据管理服务消费实体发送的第一指示信息,确定该第一指示信息指示的服务信息开放方式为第一开放方式,则可按照上述图6所示的流程进行处理(比如包括将第一服务信息发送给该管理服务消费实体);若开放控制管理功能实体根据管理服务消费实体发送的第一指示信息,确定该第一指示信息指示的服务信息开放方式为第二开放方式,则根据该第一指示信息指示的第二开放方式,将与第二开放方式关联的第二服务信息发送给该管理服务消费实体。
在一种可能的实现方式中,上述方法还可包括以下步骤:开放控制管理功能实体将服务发现提供实体的地址信息发送给管理服务消费实体。可选的,后续管理服务消费实体可根据该服务发现提供实体的地址信息向相应的服务发现提供实体发起服务发现流程。
上述流程中,由于管理服务消费实体通过第一指示信息指示服务信息开放方式,使得开放控制管理功能实体能够根据该第一指示信息指示的服务信息开放方式,将该服务信息开放方式关联的第一服务信息发送给管理服务消费实体,又由于第一服务信息是第二服务信息处理后得到的,因此可以使得管理服务消费实体获得与其通过第一指示信息指示的服务信息开放方式相匹配的管理服务信息,从而可以满足管理服务消费实体对开放的服务信息的个性化需求。进一步的,通过上述流程还可以对运营商管理信息库中的原始信息模型中的敏感信息进行保护,比如针对运营商管理信息库中涉及管理服务定价策略的相关服务信息,可以不提供给管理服务消费实体。
本申请实施例中,管理服务消费实体在基于图6所示的流程,获得开放的服务信息(比如获得第一服务信息)后,可根据该服务信息发起管理服务调用流程。图7a和图7b分别示出了本申请实施例提供的管理服务的调用流程。
参见图7a,为本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法的流程示意图。通过该流程,可实现管理服务的调用过程。该流程以管理服务消费实体选择的服务信息开放方式为第一开放方式,并基于图6所示的流程获得与该第一开放方式关联的第一服务信息为例描述。
如图7a所示,该流程可包括如下步骤:
701:管理服务消费实体向开放控制管理功能实体发送第一请求,所述第一请求中包括第三服务信息。
可选的,所述第一请求用于请求调用目标管理服务。可选的,目标管理服务可能包括一个或多个。举例来说,该目标管理服务可包括配置服务,性能测量服务,故障告警服务中的一项或多项。
所述第三服务信息与管理服务消费实体请求调用的目标管理服务相对应,所述第三服务信息是第一服务信息中包括的信息中的至少一个,即,第三服务信息是第一服务信息的子集。举例来说,若该管理服务消费实体签约了配置服务,性能测量服务,故障告警服务,则第一服务信息包括这三种管理服务的服务信息。若该管理服务消费实体当前请求调用故障告警服务,则从第一服务信息中提取故障告警服务对应的服务信息(称为第三服务信息), 并将该第三服务信息携带在第一请求中发送给开放控制管理功能实体。
可选的,第一请求可以是管理服务调用请求。需要说明的是,本申请实施例对第一请求的命名不做限制。
702:开放控制管理功能实体向用于提供目标管理服务的目标管理功能实体发送第二请求,所述第二请求中包括第四服务信息。
所述第四服务信息是所述第三服务信息处理后得到的。所述第四服务信息是第二服务信息包括的信息中的至少一个,即第四服务信息是第二服务信息的子集。第四服务信息用于目标管理功能实体,即目标管理功能实体可根据该第四服务信息执行对应的管理服务。
该步骤中,开放控制管理功能实体接收到第一请求后,可根据该管理服务消费实体在此之前发送的第一指示信息确定该管理服务消费实体选择的服务信息开放方式。若该管理服务消费实体选择的服务信息开放方式为第一开放方式,则将第一请求中携带的第三服务信息进行处理,得到第四服务信息,并将该第四服务信息携带在第二请求中发送给目标管理功能实体。
将第三服务信息进行处理,得到第四服务信息的过程,与将第二服务信息进行处理得到第一服务信息的过程是相对应的处理过程。以管理服务消费实体请求调用的目标管理服务为故障告警服务作为例子,第三服务信息中的类型B组件包括“gNB(基站)”,则可将该类型B服务组件转换为第四服务信息中的“NRCellCU(NR小区集中单元),NRCellDU(NR小区分布式单元),BWP(部分带宽)”。
可选的,开放控制管理功能实体接收第一请求之后,可根据该管理服务消费实体签约的管理服务,确定第三服务信息对应的目标管理服务是否在该管理服务消费实体对应的管理服务授权范围内;若目标管理服务在该管理服务消费实体对应的管理服务授权范围内,则开放控制管理功能实体才向目标管理功能实体发送第二请求,若目标管理服务不在该管理服务消费实体对应的管理服务授权范围内,则开放控制管理功能实体拒绝该第一请求,从而可以提高管理功能调用的安全性。
可选的,上述流程中还可包括以下步骤:开放控制管理功能实体接收到第一请求后,从服务发现提供实体获取目标管理功能实体的地址信息。在702,开放控制管理功能实体根据该目标管理功能实体的地址信息,向目标管理功能实体发送第二请求。
703:目标管理功能实体接收到第二请求后,根据第四服务信息执行对应的管理服务。
上述流程中,管理服务消费实体可根据所请求调用的目标管理服务,将接收的第一服务信息中与目标管理服务对应的服务信息(第三服务信息)发送给开放控制管理功能实体,开放控制管理功能实体可以将该第三服务信息处理为第四服务信息,该第四信息是用于目标管理服务实体(即用于提供该目标管理服务的目标管理功能实体)的管理服务信息,并将该第四服务信息包括在第二请求中发送给该目标管理功能实体,以使得该目标管理功能实体能够根据该第四服务信息执行该管理服务消费实体请求调用的管理服务。
在一种可能的实现方式中,目标管理功能实体根据第四服务信息执行对应的管理服务之后,上述流程还可包括以下步骤:
704:目标管理功能实体向开放控制管理功能实体发送第一数据。
所述第一数据也可称为管理服务数据,是开放控制管理功能实体执行目标管理服务后得到的结果,本申请实施例对第一数据的命名不做限制。示例性的,如果目标管理服务为性能测量服务,则执行该性能测量服务后得到的第一数据可包括基站下行空口的时延、平 均吞吐量、基站间切换时延等信息。
705:开放控制管理功能实体向管理服务消费实体发送第二数据,所述第二数据是第一数据转换后得到的。
该步骤中,开放控制管理功能实体接收到第一数据后,可根据该管理服务消费实体在此之前发送的第一指示信息确定该管理服务消费实体选择的服务信息开放方式。若该管理服务消费实体选择的服务信息开放方式为第一开放方式,则将第一数据进行转换,得到第二数据,并将该第二数据发送给该管理服务消费实体。
可选的,将第一数据转换为第二数据的方法,类似于将第二服务信息转换为第一服务信息的方法。示例性的,可将第一数据转换为KPI或KQI,比如,仍以上述性能测量服务为例,可根据基站下行空口的时延、平均吞吐量、基站间切换时延等信息,转换为对应的KQI,该KQI可能表示以下网络性能质量中的一种:性能良好、性能一般、性能较差。
上述实现方式中,若目标管理功能实体执行管理服务消费实体请求调用的管理服务后,需要返回管理服务数据,则将第一数据(比如执行目标管理服务后得到的第一管理服务数据)发送给开放控制管理功能实体;开放控制管理功能实体可基于该管理消费实体通过第一指示信息指示的服务信息开放方式,将该第一数据转换为第二数据,并将第二数据发送给该管理服务消费实体,从而使得该管理服务消费实体接收到的数据(比如管理服务数据)与该管理服务消费实体通过第一指示信息指示的服务信息开放方式相适配,进而可以满足该管理服务消费实体对开放的服务信息的个性化需求。
参见图7b,为本申请实施例提供的另一种通信方法的流程示意图。通过该流程,可实现管理服务的调用过程。该流程以管理服务消费实体选择的服务信息开放方式为第一开放方式,并基于图6所示的流程获得与该第一开放方式关联的第一服务信息为例描述。
如图7b所示,该流程可包括如下步骤:
711:管理服务消费实体向服务发现提供实体发送该管理服务消费实体的身份类型信息以及管理服务类型信息。
所述管理服务消费实体的身份类型信息,用于指示该管理服务消费实体是管理域内部的管理服务消费实体,还是管理域外部的管理服务消费实体,如果是管理域外部的管理服务消费实体,则该管理服务消费实体不被信任。
所述管理服务类型信息为第一服务信息中包括的管理服务类型信息。示例性的,该管理服务类型信息是该管理服务消费实体请求调用的目标管理服务的管理服务类型信息。举例来说,若该管理服务消费实体请求调用故障告警服务,则从第一服务信息中提取故障告警服务对应的管理服务类型信息,并将该管理服务类型信息发送给服务发现提供实体。
可选的,该步骤中,管理服务消费实体可根据此前获取到的服务发现提供实体的地址信息,向对应的服务发现提供实体发送该管理服务消费实体的身份类型信息以及管理服务类型信息。管理服务消费实体接收服务发现提供实体的地址信息的步骤,可参见图6中的相关步骤。
可选的,管理服务消费实体可将该管理服务消费实体的身份类型信息以及管理服务类型信息携带于服务发现请求发送给服务发现提供实体,该服务发现请求用于请求获取目标管理服务的地址信息,该目标管理服务即为该管理服务类型信息对应的管理服务。需要说明的是,本申请实施例对该消息的命名不做限制。
712:服务发现提供实体根据该管理服务消费实体的身份类型信息确定该管理服务消 费实体为不被信任的管理服务消费实体。
713:服务发现提供实体将该管理服务类型信息发送给开放控制管理功能实体。
可选的,服务发现提供实体可将该管理服务类型信息携带于权限检查请求发送给开放控制管理功能实体,该权限检查请求用于请求检查管理服务类型信息对应的管理服务是否在所述管理服务消费实体对应的管理服务授权范围内。可选的,该权限检查请求中还可包括该管理服务消费实体的标识信息。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例对该消息的命名不做限制。
714:开放控制管理功能实体根据该管理服务类型信息,向服务发现提供实体通知该管理服务类型信息对应的管理服务是否在所述管理服务消费实体对应的管理服务授权范围内。
本流程以该管理服务类型信息对应的管理服务在所述管理服务消费实体对应的管理服务授权范围内为例描述。
可选的,若该管理服务类型信息对应的管理服务不在所述管理服务消费实体对应的管理服务授权范围内,则开放控制管理功能实体向服务发现提供实体发送失败通知,并结束本流程。
715:服务发现提供实体将目标管理功能实体的地址信息发送给管理服务消费实体。
716:管理服务消费实体向开放控制管理功能实体发送第一请求,所述第一请求中包括第三服务信息。
可选的,该第一请求中还可包括步骤714中获取到的目标管理功能实体的地址信息。
717:开放控制管理功能实体向用于提供目标管理服务的目标管理功能实体发送第二请求,所述第二请求中包括第四服务信息。
718:目标管理功能实体接收到第二请求后,根据第四服务信息执行对应的管理服务。
在一种可能的实现方式中,目标管理功能实体根据第四服务信息执行对应的管理服务之后,上述流程还可包括以下步骤:
719:目标管理功能实体向开放控制管理功能实体发送第一数据。
720:开放控制管理功能实体向管理服务消费实体发送第二数据,所述第二数据是第一数据转换后得到的。
图7b所示流程中的步骤716~720的具体实现方式,与图7a所示流程中的步骤701~705的具体实现方式基本相同。
上述流程中,开放控制管理功能实体可以将服务发现提供实体的地址信息发送给管理服务消费实体,使得该管理服务消费实体可以根据该地址信息,将该管理服务消费实体的身份类型信息以及管理服务类型信息发送给相应的管理服务消费实体,从而可以直接与管理服务消费实体进行交互以进行服务发现过程;在该过程中,服务发现提供实体在判断该管理服务消费实体为不被信任的管理服务消费实体时,请求开放控制管理功能实体检查该管理服务类型信息对应的管理服务是否在该管理服务消费实体对应的管理服务授权范围内,从而可以提高管理服务调用的安全性。
结合图6所示的流程以及图7a所示的流程,图8示例性示出了一种管理服务消费实体的注册过程以及调用管理服务的过程。在注册过程中,该管理服务消费实体选择第一开放方式。
如图8所示,该流程可包括如下步骤:
801:管理服务消费实体向开放控制管理功能实体发送注册请求,该注册请求中包括第一指示信息,该第一指示信息指示的服务信息开放方式为第一开放方式。
所述注册请求消息中的第一指示信息代表该管理服务消费实体对开放的管理服务信息形式的选择。本流程中,示例性的,该第一指示信息指示的服务信息开放方式为第一开放方式,即该管理服务消费实体希望开放给该管理服务消费实体的服务信息是经过优化,容易理解的服务信息。
可选的,注册请求中还可携带管理服务消费实体的标识信息(如customer ID,其中ID为identification的英文缩写,即标识)、租户描述信息(比如tenant profile)。其中,customer ID是描述该管理服务消费实体的标识,其可以是客户名称(name),比如垂直行业企业名等,也可以是代表管理服务消费实体的数字标识。tenant profile是描述管理服务消费实体基本信息的描述文件,其中可包括管理服务消费实体对服务等级规范(service level specification,SLS)的需求,包括时延、可靠性、资源隔离性等指标需求。
802:开放控制管理功能实体收到注册请求后,根据第一指示信息指示的第一开放方式,基于第二服务(MnS information)信息处理得到第一服务信息(eMnS information)。
该步骤中,开放控制管理功能实体可首先根据该管理服务消费实体的租户描述信息(比如tenant profile),以及已与运营商(network service producer或network operation producer)签订的能力开放商务合同,对该管理服务消费实体的身份进行鉴权认证。若鉴权认证通过,则生成租户ID(operator ID)、存储租户信息(tenant profile)以及开放方式信息(这里为第一开放方式的相关信息,比如第一指示信息的取值)。可选的,存储上述信息的一种实现方式可以是:建立一个租户管理对象实例,开放控制管理功能实体存储租户标识与开放方式的对应关系,如将开放方式作为租户实例的一个属性进行存储。
该步骤中,开放控制管理功能实体根据第一指示信息判定该管理服务消费实体选择的服务信息开放方式为第一开放方式,则根据该管理服务消费实体签约使用的管理服务,基于该管理服务的第二服务信息(MnS information)获取对应的第一服务信息(eMnS information)。
803:开放控制管理功能实体向管理服务消费实体发送注册响应,该注册响应中包括第一服务信息。可选的,该注册响应中还可包括该管理服务消费实体的标识信息(如operator ID)。
804:该管理服务消费实体向开放控制管理功能实体发送第一管理服务调用请求,该请求中包括第三服务信息。
所述第三服务信息是803中开放控制管理功能实体返回给该管理服务消费实体的第一服务信息的一个子集,是该管理服务消费实体请求调用的目标管理服务的服务信息,比如该目标管理服务可以是配置管理、性能测量、告警收集等一种或多种管理服务。
所述第一管理服务调用请求中还可包括该管理服务消费实体的身份标识(比如operator ID),该身份标识可在管理域内唯一标识该管理服务消费实体。
805:开放控制管理功能实体进行权限检查。该步骤为可选步骤。
该步骤中,开放控制管理功能实体可根据管理服务消费实体的标识信息(如operator ID),基于该管理服务消费实体的租户信息(如tenant profile),检查该管理服务消费实体请求调用的目标管理服务是否在该管理服务消费实体允许使用的管理消费范围内(即判断该管理服务消费实体是否订购了该目标管理服务)。若检查通过,则继续执行后续步骤, 否则开放控制管理功能实体拒绝该管理服务消费实体的管理服务调用请求,将请求失败结果返回给该管理服务消费实体。
806:开放控制管理功能实体将第三服务信息处理为第四服务信息。
807:开放控制管理功能实体向服务发现提供实体(MnS Discovery Service Producer)发送服务发现请求,用以请求目标管理功能实体的地址信息。该目标管理功能实体即为可提供目标管理服务的管理功能实体。
该服务发现请求中可包括身份标识信息(比如开放控制管理功能实体的身份标识)、目标管理服务的MnS类型,该MnS类型是第四服务信息中包括的管理服务类型信息。
808:服务发现提供实体向开放控制管理功能实体返回服务发现响应,其中可包括目标管理功能实体的地址信息。
809:开放控制管理功能实体根据目标管理功能实体的地址信息,向目标管理功能实体发送第二服务调用请求,其中可携带第四服务信息。
该步骤中,开放控制管理功能实体可根据目标管理服务的组件(MnS component)和目标管理功能实体的地址信息,向相应的目标管理功能实体发送第二管理服务调用请求。
